Long Beach 1971

Welcome to Long Beach 1971, the latest album in earMUSIC's Deep Purple reissue series that, over the last two years, has seen the release of rare live material from the band. It was recorded at Long Beach Arena in Long Beach, California, on July 30, 1971, and was broadcast on radio (KUSE 91.5 FM), a showcase for a support performance to Rod Stewart and The Faces. An official release for a concert that has long been considered a landmark for the band, the set featured tracks ( Speed King and Child in Time ) from their fourth studio album, June 1970's Deep Purple In Rock. This was a transitional release for the Mk II version of the band, being their first hard rock affair as well as their commercial breakthrough as the third leading über rock band of the day along with Black Sabbath and Led Zeppelin.

On their second album Long Player, the Faces truly gel – which isn't quite the same thing as having the band straighten up and fly right because in many ways this is album is even more ragged than their debut, with tracks that sound like they were recorded through a shoebox thrown up against a couple of haphazardly placed live cuts…

Set 1: "Stomping Encore" - Gaelic Park N.Y. Sep. 1st 1971 - The Stratasphere vs. The Spectre." This set and its companion, the eight-CD volume two, display all the strengths that made Emerson, Lake & Palmer one of the world's most popular bands during the '70s, and the weakness that comes with a trio's attempt to play complicated music. Keith Emerson was a virtuoso keyboard player, Greg Lake supplied a pleasant voice and flair for writing melodic songs, and Carl Palmer played drums as though he would perish if he stopped. But the group lacked the depth of fellow progressive rock bands, such as Yes and King Crimson. Those groups supplied multiple lead instrumentalists – Yes with their guitar/keyboard tandem and Crimson with their venerable guitarist, Robert Fripp, and a series of cohorts who played saxophone, violin, or second guitar.

Curtiss Maldoon explores a fairly laid-back, folky realm colored by a little early-'70s British hard rock. "I'm waiting for the man from Afghanistan to come, I've got a kilo in the bottom of my suitcase in a cabin trunk" they nonchalantly note on "Man from Afghanistan," setting the late-period hippie tone. Oh, those permissive early '70s! The throat-stretching vocals and organ on "Long Long Time" show a Dylan influence, and perhaps a Gary Brooker/Procol Harum one, too. Madonna obsessives, as unlikely as it seems, might want to track this down for the presence of "Sepheryn," which she worked over into "Ray of Light" in 1998; it's a little more emotional and melodically and lyrically sophisticated than their typical tunes. Steve Howe plays guitar on "Warm on the Ridge; " Howe, Tony Ashton, and Roy Dyke (from Ashton, Gardner & Dyke) play on "Find a Little Peace."
